Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (June 3)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Alijdonnell/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to User:Alijdonnell/sandbox, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

June 2020

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article about yourself, at User:Alijdonnell/sandbox. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Alijdonnell

A tag has been placed on User:Alijdonnell requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free web hosting service. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hi. I've declined this nomination for speedy deletion so you can carry on editing. Deb (talk) 15:54, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deb I'm surprised by this decision, user pages are not usually allowed to be written in the third person like an article? Theroadislong (talk) 16:16, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Theroadislong: I'm not aware of any rule that says they can't be, but if you know of a precedent, please do let me know. Deb (talk) 17:03, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking of WP:FAKEARTICLE the content of the user page had been declined at WP:AFC and then re-created on the user page. Theroadislong (talk) 17:50, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see. I noticed that there was a mistaken attempt to create an article, but I took that to be just a beginner's error. I'm sure this user will be reading and understanding the guidelines in future. Deb (talk) 11:20, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alijdonnell/sandbox2

Hi. I have moved the page you created at Alijdonnell/sandbox2 to user space at User:Alijdonnell/sandbox2 as it seems that you were aiming to create a user subpage. Regards, GILO A&E⇑ 16:52, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Goldsztajn

Many thanks for publishing this article. I am trying to enrich wiki pages around caribbean writers and have a number in my sandboxes ready to be reviewed. Is there any way for these to be reviewed as a group rather than moving each into my sandbox and waiting for them to be reviewed individually?

many thanks for your help
